2009 Bon Voyage Banquet
 

The 2009 Banquet marked the official send-off for the 2009 students.  Professor Theofanis Stavrou gave the keynote speech, while 2008 SPANner to Argentina Antoni Tang was the highlighted speaker.  Friends, family and SPANners were also treated to an impromptu round of stories shared by visiting alumni.  

The evening's entertainment was provided by our two SPAN 2009 groups.  The eight students traveling to Greece performed a traditional Greek dance and the European Union students read poetry reflective of the nation where they are headed.  

Thanks to the generous support of our alumni contributors, SPAN was able to distribute 25,500 dollars in scholarships this year.  Without the contributions of our extremely dedicated alumni, SPAN would not be able to to continue offering quality study abroad experiences to all students.  Thank you supporters!
